Hi,

Are you using a proxy server to connect to the internet.
You will have to configure your Internet explorer to bypass proxy server for local address. Or maybe include http://localhost in the space where you specify not to include proxy server for addresses beginning with.

to do this
open ie
click on tools | internet options
click on connection tab
click on lan settings
if hte proxy server check box is enabled then enable bypass proxy server also.
also u can do this to include fast processing
click the advanced button
in exceptions include http://localhost;
now you will be able to use ur local host in LAN

Thanks for your respond. Yes we are using proxy server
and as you mentioned, Also I changed the configuration of
IE to enable bypass server, but still no reply from
http://localhost.
